-There has been alot of posts about water levels since I moved to the lake two years ago.
-Obviously, when SLISA was a force, even more discussion occured.
-However, one post several years ago stays in my mind, because it seems to have passed the test of time.
-The writer claimed to have worked at Gorgas and thus knew of what he spoke. his claim was that Gorgas needs cool water from Smith Lake for its towers. The amount of water needed equals 0.8 foot per week from about the beginning of June when the water in the Warrior River begins warming up till teh end of Sep when the water in the Warrior is again cool enough to do the job. Thus, 0.8 ft X 16 weeks just about equals the annual drawdown. So until AP finds a better way than its present cooling towers, ---ain't nottin gonna change!
